"You OK?" Swift writes on a notepad as she checks on Lucas Till's character through their windows in the iconic "You Belong With Me" music video. By the end, Till's jock character leaves his evil brunette cheerleader girlfriend, also played by Swift, to be with nerdy Swift at prom. Their chemistry in the 3-minute, 48-second video manifested into a presumably longer real-world romance. In a 2009 MTV interview, Till (pictured here on April 10, 2009, in Hollywood, California) said that they dated "for a little bit." "There was no friction because we were too nice. We just really both liked each other," he said. "I really just liked her as a friend. That's the only reason that didn’t work out."
